sorry for not keeping up with the posts, I again just skipped 900 posts lol and didnt enter a single contest, oh well, anyways here to tell everyone how my hatch went. 22 chicks- not great, since I started with 50something but they were all shipped eggs except for a few, and my incubator was overloaded so I am just happy I have 22 cute fluffy chicks! I have one who is laying on its side, tried bracing it in a cup, tried bandaging his legs, but there is something actually wrong, her leg and wing are misshapen or something, so it just winds up crying upside-down no matter what I try. so I am doing some google searching to think of new ideas. but everyone else is doing well, 2 cochin silkie mixes, 1 EE mix and the rest are silkies, so it is a very fluffy brooder! (will edit with picture once I find my phone cord)

I will have hmmmm ALL OF THEM PLEASE!!!! such cuties!!!!!!!! congrats!!!!!

So, here are those pictures I promised a week ago, lol. I finally have some time to breathe and can get them uploaded. I had a 100% hatch rate, but unfortunately a freak accident killed one so I have six chicks from seven eggs.

Here are all six:



The little CCL/Ayam cemani hybrid. She is MUCH darker than I expected:



And here's the little leghorn mix clearly fathered by Raptor, my AC rooster. Look at that dark little face!

awwwwww

wow did you loose all the leaves already?

this is my little dutch bantam, Enid, modeling our adorable hand-made floral vest and clothesline costume. I made the close line band out of an old headband which i covered with shredded fake leaves to look like grass. then i used some Popsicle sticks and string to make the clothes line, and i made little shirts out of fabric. the mini laundry basket just adds to her look








2nd Prize @chickendreams24

Hey everyone finished my entry not as good as I was hoping for ended up having to photograph and rangle the very irritated chicken myself. Lol.
Note to self: measure the height of the chicken next time, poor Ginger was tripping over the legs. And I never did get the hat on her.
These are the two best pictures of Ginger as a scarecrow. You might imagine that she wasn't thrilled. Next time I'll get help.

Here I have added a photo of the costume not on Ginger so the details and hat(which would have to have been glued on her head to make it stay there) can be seen.

I sewed all the items from scrap material and added the straw details myself. As can hopefully be seen from the photos I made overalls with a front pocket that has straw spilling out and a shirt with attached arms and hands. There is also straw out the bottom of the pants and the hat.

Thanks you tj and BTW bantambury I love the laundry line how ever did you get her to wear that? I had such a hard time getting Ginger to tolerate her costume there was lots of bribing with scratch before and after lol thankfully she has forgiven me lol
